Chapter 30 Qiao's
"But thinking back, it's a good thing Xu Ruojin isn't the queen of the fallen nation. That bastard in the palace is truly unworthy of the Xu family's pearl!"
When Zhao Yu'e mentioned that disgusting thing, her eyebrows and eyes were clearly filled with disgust. Qiao Yunshu looked at her and considerately changed the subject.
"What's that girl like? I'm not too concerned about her looks. After all, the third brother is pretty good-looking, so it's fine as long as his wife isn't too ugly to be seen in public. The key is that she has a good character to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."
Qiao had something in mind, and Zhao understood it.
"Don't worry. From what I've seen, that girl has been well-educated and has the potential to be the mistress of a household. After all, her stepmother is also a daughter of the Xu family. It's impossible for Xu Ruoyu not to teach her children skills."
As she spoke, the look in her eyes changed slightly, and her tone was filled with guilt.
"Yun Niang, I treat the third and fourth brothers the same as their eldest brother. Don't worry, I won't lie to you."
Qiao Yunshu didn't move his eyebrows, just nodded.
"Sister, don't feel guilty. I volunteered to let him marry you after weighing the pros and cons.
In this world, things can't always go as one wishes. I am extremely grateful to you, the Zhao family, for helping him lead the uprising and saving us from death in Guangping Prefecture."
Zhao Yu'e nodded and didn't bring up the past any more.
What is there to quibble about?
No matter what, it was because she married Li Changhuai that she took away Qiao Yunshu's position as the legal wife.
Just as she was about to suggest inviting the Jiang family mother and daughter over for a meeting someday, she saw her personal maid walk in.
"master."
Jinxiu bowed politely and replied quietly after being called.
"Just now, Jiusi Zhai reported that our Fourth Young Master and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family had a fight!"
"What?"
The two ladies looked at each other, feeling that they didn't seem to understand.
"Are the kids all right?"
Zhao felt a little uneasy. Just when she was about to arrange a wife for the third son, this girl started a fight with the fourth son. Which mistress in the future could be so fierce?
Qiao also asked with a frown.
"Old Four is such a bastard, he's full of stupidity, he's going to hurt the girl badly, right?"
"My Lords, the eldest and third sons have already gone over to dissuade the men. The eldest daughter of the Jiang family has some bruises on her face, but our fourth son seems to be more seriously injured."
Zhao quickly gave orders.
"Hurry up and ask the court doctor to come over and take a look at their injuries, especially the fourth child. We must pay more attention to him. No, sister, why don't we go over and take a look..."
"What are you looking at? Sis, don't spoil him!"
Qiao grabbed Zhao's sleeve and pulled her back to sit down as she was about to stand up.
"Just let the doctor treat the Jiang family girl's injuries, and leave that bastard the fourth brother alone!
A grown boy like him actually dares to hit a girl, and the key point is that he has never hit her before?
What a good-for-nothing! Let him suffer for a while so he can learn his lesson!"
Mrs. Qiao was so angry that her pretty face was full of anger.
"Just as useless as his stupid dad!"
Zhao Yu'e couldn't respond to this. In all the years of fighting between Qiao Yunshu and Li Changhuai, it was true that Li Changhuai always ended up losing.
"Sister, no matter how strong the fourth child is, he's still a child. If he gets hurt..."
"How hard can a little girl from the Jiang family hit her? Don't spoil him all day long. Do you know that loving mothers often spoil their children?"
Since her biological mother said so, what else can I, a stepmother, say?
Zhao could only signal her subordinates with a wink, telling Jinxiu to quickly inform the fourth son. Don't turn around and run to Ruijing Hall, or you might get beaten up again by his still-angry mother.
Mrs. Qiao angrily picked up the teacup and drank the cold tea that had lost its heat in one gulp. Only then did she feel a little better.
The two worst things she had ever done in her life were marrying a bastard like Li Changhuai and giving birth to a bastard like Li Laosi.
Every time she saw these two doing something stupid, she felt that life was basically meaningless.
"Sister, don't give the Jiang family's little girl to the third brother for the time being. I'll take a look at her someday."
"OK."
When this matter was brought up again, Zhao felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Now that you've recovered from your cold, go back to your work.
I have to take care of all the affairs in the mansion and the children, and I also have to find time to help him proofread the military accounts. I am so busy every day that I don't have time to spare.
Besides, you have been managing our family's businesses for so many years, and I am at a loss as to how to get started. If things drag on for too long, it might not be good. What do you think, sister?
Qiao nodded.
"Got it. Send someone to return all the account books."
The old Li family has two wives, one is in charge of the household expenses and the other is in charge of the property.
They had never fallen out over the years. If they were really angry, they would just attack the man, but they had never attacked each other or their children.
This is an unspoken understanding between the two of them, and it is also the last bit of dignity that the two proud women retain for each other.
In the morning, he would enthusiastically take the three Jiang siblings out, and in the evening, he would lazily carry them home.
When Mrs. Xu saw the wounds on her eldest daughter's face and the bite marks on her son Xiaopang's claws, she frowned with worry.
"What's going on? Is there anyone bullying you in school?"
"No, I was just in a good mood and was sparring with someone, so I accidentally bumped into him. It doesn't hurt much, don't think too much about it, mom. I'll tell you the details later."
After soothing his mother, Jiang Wan turned to the second and third sons. He had already heard what had happened from them in the academy, so he raised his lip in amusement.
"As for the third child's injury, don't worry about it, mother. I also saw the injury on the little girl from the Sun family. She was bitten on the neck by your fat son. Her brother was so angry that he came to me to ask for an explanation!"
"What? Third brother, did you bite the little girl?"
Xu was so angry that she wanted to grab his ears, but the nimble little fat boy quickly stepped back several steps. He did not forget to seek justice for himself.
"She bit me first! If you don't believe me, ask my second sister. It was really Sun Qingqing who started it first. It's not my fault!"
Then he heard his second sister finishing off the enemy coldly.
"It's true that Qingqing hit you first, but if you hadn't called her a fat girl and said that her whole family was ugly, would she have hit you?"
Xu was really angry now.
"Jiang Yaozu! Is this what your family taught you? How dare you be so rude and even pick a fight with a little girl? You..."
